Hayastan All-Armenian Fund British affiliate
sponsors construction of kindergarten in Sasunik
Yerevan, February 18, 2014 - With financial support from its British
affiliate, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has started building a two-story
kindergarten in Sasunik, a village in Armenia's Aragatsotn Region. The
project is co-sponsored by the Sasunik Municipality.
Currently construction crews are laying the foundations of the future
kindergarten, which will accommodate up to 90 children.
Sasunik's old, run-down kindergarten has remained closed since 1998, forcing
some residents to consider sending their children to a kundergarten in
nearby Ashtarak. Yet even this option has not been feasible for many. "Very
few families can take their children to and from the kindergarten in
Ashtarak or afford the high tuition," said Sasunik mayor Arman Margaryan.
As he went on to discuss some of the infrastructure and other issues facing
his village, Margaryan said that among the community's most urgent needs are
the construction of an irrigation network and the renovation of the
community's roads. On the plus side, the mayor added, there have been 23
weddings in Sasunik since the beginning of 2014, pointing to the fact that
many are opting to stay put and continue to live here.
Incorporated within Sasunik is the village of Karin, which is populated by
refugees from Baku. There are about 4,000 residents in Sasunik. The main
local occupations are viticulture and animal breeding, with more than 100
residents employed at Sasunik's Armenia Wine factory.
In recent years, the financial support of the Armenian community of Britain
has made possible the renovation of the Delivery and Surgery departments of
the Maternity Ward at Yerevan's Surb Astvatsamayr Medical Center (2009), the
Pediatric Department of Kapan Medical Center (2011), and Yerevan's Shengavit
District Boarding Kindergarten (2012). Also through British-Armenian
support, more than 20 schools in Armenia's border villages have been
provided with furniture and school supplies.
